Charities

Alongside her taxable corporate clients Sarah also assists charities with their corporation tax compliance. Despite rarely having any tax to pay to HMRC, charities still have responsibilities, so Sarah assists with tax returns and advice on potential tax complications.

Education

Sarah’s previous audit and accounts experience included a variety of clients from the education sector, so she was delighted to bring that expertise to assisting with their tax responsibilities.

Livery companies

Livery companies, like clubs and associations, fall within the mutual trading rules for tax. Sarah is experienced with these entities: assisting in analysing their transactions and their tax compliance requirements.

Private Client Advisory

Private client advisory is a widely cast net that includes various types of tax-related queries. Sarah thinks it is her previous teaching roles that give her such satisfaction in assisting with these varied enquiries and giving her clients peace of mind over their personal and corporate tax positions.

Residence & domicile rules

Sarah overcomes her jealousy of the exotic destinations of her clients through the satisfaction of helping them understand their UK tax positions and requirements as they arrive in, depart from or live outside of the UK.
This also ties into inheritance tax, which is one of Sarah’s specialities.

Trusts

Sarah is experienced in various aspects of trust taxation and administration, including:

• Set-up
• Registration
• Income tax returns
• Inheritance tax returns

A lifelong learner, with a passion for all things chocolate, Sarah enjoys books and media, travel and martial arts, while her membership of The Women’s Institute (WI) gives her regular access to tea and cake.
